I have had quite a successful week this week. Have had a couple of positive responses to work placement and am feeling a little bit happier about the whole situation. Having been in contact with Kitty Gale she suggested that I look at the work of Nicole Heiniger. This was because two week previously I had written about Karin Berndl and Nicole is her main assistant, but is starting to branch away and do her own work. Having looked at her site I really liked her work and think I could really learn from her given the opportunity and her assisting experience. The work that I have decided to include in this post is from her website and under the story category. Her fashion styled work is really interesting and the image I have included particularly caught my aye because of the layering and unusual focusing. Images from http://www.nicoleheiniger.com/

This week I have decided to include my front cover image for the Gaia project. I found it difficult to get motivated at the start of the project but I am fairly happy with the final out come. I think the front cover is quite successful but could still be improved. Im not totally happy with the double page spread which is why I haven't included it. during the project my photoshop skills improved dramatically and I am really pleased with how the globe had come out, I was worried about making it in photoshop but the finished image has the look that I was after. I think it really helped having the model hold a ball as it gave me something to map to.
